Question about things to do when it is raining

[shorty123]

I am planning on going to US/IOA next week for 2 days, but I see that there is a high probability of rain on those days. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do in the US/IOA parks when it is raining? It looks like I need to come up with activities to do for rain days.

It rained when we were there. We put on raincoats and just did the parks as usual, albeit a bit wet.

If there's one day that looks like a more solid chance of rain than the other, I'd go with Studios on that day. More indoor rides.

It can rain in the morning and be beautiful in the afternoon or visa versa. Don't let the weather undo your plans. Bring your rain poncho and you might not even need it. Have a great time.

I guess that the good thing about rain is that the lines may be shorter.

Some of our best memories are on days it rained. Bring a poncho, or a swim suit - head over to Islands and hit the water rides. Only a handful of attractions are outside, still a great day!

Do they sell ponchos at Universal like they do at Disney?

Yes, at the stores. You can buy them when it's not raining as well. They keep them at the register, just have to ask.

Studios has quite a lot of rides and shows inside.......

If you're going the swimsuit route, just be aware that guys still have to wear a shirt. They won't let girls just wear a plain suit either... I have seen girls get away with shorts and a swimsuit top...

If you want a break there is always the movie theater or the bowling alley at CBBR.

If it rains, duck inside the Jurassic Park Discovery Center. There are many fun things to do in there, plus you can eat at the Burger Digs. Hang out there until the rain stops.

I have to say, I don't like touring in the rain, but Diagon Alley when it's dark or cloudy is even cooler...

And some of Diagon Alley is covered so that is a plus. It's a nice area to walk around even in the rain
